“TMNT” Movie Review

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV” Plot Summary

The continued adventures of the four adolescent mutated turtles gifted in the art of the ninja, as they attempt to stop a mysterious evil that threatens to end the world.

An excellent and enjoyable treat for all Turtles fans!

I saw this last night at a preview in my local Odeon. I am a big fan of the Turtles and have been since my childhood. I wasn’t quite sure of what to expect from this movie but I was very impressed

The characters have all had a terrific makeover which is displayed with some of the best on screen animation that I have seen in a long time. The film itself is a bit vivid but all the same very enjoyable

All the chosen voice overs and presentations for each character seem very well suited, although my only criticism is against April O Neils character. She has gone from a geeky news reporter to tough as nails ninja it would appear, but we are not told exactly how far into the future this movie is from the Turtles timescale so I accept that the scriptwriters have progressed things and the characters have moved forward.**Spoiler Alert** One thing in particular is Leonardo , he looks very, very well done indeed. One scene in particular is the rooftop fight scene between him and Raphael which looks visually stunning and is way above anything I have seen in the animation world

The fight scenes/violence are a lot tougher than what you would expect from a Turtles feature. Some hard hitting ‘ninja’ violence is displayed throughout the movie and combined with the scary monsters is well worth it’s PG certificate. All in good taste though

Overall a very enjoyable and visual treat for the kids and grown ups which does justice for the whole TMNT history.

    “Sgt. Bilko” Movie Review

    “Sergeant Bilko” Plot Summary

    This movie is a remake of the hit series which starred, Phil Silvers as Sgt. Bilko. In this movie, Bilko… add synopsis

    I enjoyed it a lot

    Steve Martin is larger than life in this very funny comedy. He plays the title character who is lazy, sleazy, clever and always one step ahead of everyone else he should be ahead of. He runs the motor pool like it would be run by someone from ‘Animal House’. They spend all their time gambling and sleeping it off

    A new recruit (Darryl Mitchell, from ‘Galaxy Quest’ and ‘10 Things I Hate About You) does not understand his unprofessionalism as a military man so in some ways Darryl acts as the audience. Bilko has a girlfriend who is onto him but loves him in spite of herself. He constantly leaves her at the altar (‘I’m the only woman I know whose wedding dress is showing wear’) but its a game they play more than anything. Plot takes off when Phil Hartman shows up. He’s an old adversary of Bilko and wants to even an old score. He demands that Bilko and his men shape up and even starts romancing Bilko’s girlfriend, which of course drives Bilko crazy. Glenne Headley is perfectly cast as Bilko’s girlfriend. Unfortunately Phil Hartman is miscast and does not generate the laughs you’d hope for from this comic genius. Dan Ackroyd is very good too, but of course the movie belongs to Steve Martin. He’s an acquired taste, but so what. 8/10.
